The Los Angeles Lakers missed on forward Marcus Morris losing him to the LA Clippers? No problem. There is still his twin brother, Markieff Morris, and they did not let him slip through their fingers.
The third time is charming, but the second twin is appealing too. After a quiet trade deadline and a thoughtful buyout market, the LA team finally made its midseason move acquiring the 6’8″ forward.
Most importantly, they did not have to disrupt the close group they built. By waiving DeMarcus Cousins to make room for Morris, nothing changed for the team, except that DMC will not be able to travel and sit on the bench.
